13 Worst Lip Glosses

Avoid these lip makeup products that readers say left their lips chapped, gooey ... even scabby

No. 2: DuWop Elixrstix, $11 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 3.3*Why: Readers say, "overall [this product has] no color, no fragrance, no taste, [and] barely any shine, [which] equals a bad lip gloss in my book." Another says the product doesn't have "enough color pay-off, is slightly on the tacky side and disappears from my lips rather quickly." One reviewer says, "I try to use a gloss that is advertised to do a bit of 'plumping.' At least two other sites had said 'THIS IS IT!' so of course I had to try it. It is absolutely no different -- if not even stickier -- and less adherent than some of the less expensive lip glosses that aren't even advertised as having a 'plumping' effect."

The Bobbi Brown gloss was what turned me off of lipgloss years ago. It left my lips with a frosty white film and it dried my lips. I was very disappointed because it had looked pretty in the package. Wish I would have read this before purchasing.

Have to agree with the other critics. From experience CG lip glosses stink!! They are all horrible consistency, don't deliver the color they show, and are just as crazy priced as other EXCELLENT quality lip glosses.
